Seems there is a fair amount of wishful thinking out there, mostly outside of Patriots land, to see the Ocho-Haynesworth experiments to blow up. Appears no one outside of NE wants to see this work, because if it does, watch out NFL!

I have no concerns about Chad. He's going to fit this system and the Patriot way like a glove mark my words. Albert is the guy I'm worrying about as I haven't seen or heard enough from him yet to get a sense where his head is at.

A very rude awakening is coming to the haters. The 2008-2010 joy the haters reveled in, is over. The Brady injury, the rebuilding, etc, is done. They have no idea what a masterful job BB just did. No idea. Clueless. Or, they see it and are so fearful of the results, they can't admit it. Two 1st rd picks next year as well. Again. That means BB will own another draft. I can't wait to see Haynesworth even in preseason, just abusing people next to Wilfork. And for #85, he'll be giddy running routes at 100% here, v.s. Cincy.Posted by RidingWithTheKing

from espn.com nottony00: "They just rebuilt heading into a lockout, are loaded and have 2 1st rd picks yet again which means they'll own another draft for the 3rd year in a row."

i guess in comparison they werent that similar, but i did notice the "own another draft" and i read them seconds apart lol

The media will continue to hate the Pats as long as BB is running things. They get nothing but sarcasm and annoyance from him, and it really bothers them. Some take it very personally, seemingly acting like they 'deserve' more info from the coach. He also doesn't let his players talk about anything, and the assistants don't get to talk at all. Makes a scribes life miserable, and I love every second of it.

Fans will hate the Pats as long as they win and they have poster boy, suber bowl winning, mvp earning, record holding, supermodel wife impregnating Tom Brady under center. It drives fans of other teams crazy when the Pats were dominant, it drove them crazy when they couldn't explain all the winning, and they now hate that it goes on and on and on for ten+ years now, with no real end in sight. Imagine if Mallet is actually good? He'll be under center around 2014 with an Aaron Rodgers-like grooming period behind one of the best QBs in history.

Outside of NE, there is a lot to hate. Inside NE, it's enjoyable to watch all the haters drive themselves mad with jealousy.

I haven't read any posts with a comment about this or more to the fact an observation:

When Chad Ochocinco was interviewed for the first time the other day, he was holding back tears of joy when talking to the media about how he felt about being here! He is honestly feeling blessed to have this opportunity & he WILL take full advantage of it & all the haters WILL have egg in their face!

for years the outsiders have been clueless when it comes to the pats. how many times has it been "the end of the dynasty"? the jealous haters are wanting the patriots to fall but is isn't happening. often times when they predict a bad season or their decline the patriots end up having a big year.. last year they were not supposed to make it to the playoffs with a couple of the so called experts predicting a 7-9 season..

like pretty much every year since 2001 the patriots are once again have a very legit chance to win the superbowl this season.
